The fiber optic port operates at 100 Mbps, while the twisted pair port operates at 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps. Both ports feature half- and full-duplex operation.

AT-FS238a/x and AT-FS238b/x Series Bridging Converters can be installed on a desktop or in an AT-MCR12 chassis. These bridging converters are easy to install and do not require software configuration or management.

Note

The AT-FS238a/x and AT-FS238b/x Series Bridging Converters are designed to be used in pairs; therefore, the AT-FS238a/x fiber port must be connected to the AT-FS238b/x fiber port only.
